Smashing Young Man
Collective Soul
Collective Soul 1995
Version with STANDARD TUNING for anyone who doesn't want to use drop D
or for anyone who wants to pretend that it's written for acoustic...
basically for other novices like me...
All barred chords... A on 5th fret, Bb on 6th, C and F on 8th, Gm on 3rd
One odd chord:
G#/Abm7 (Unsure of it's real name)
First Riff:
1 2 3-6 7 8
Second Riff:
F (muted etc for the effect)
Chorus:
Help me I plea I don't understand
your ways and your means you smashing young man
help me to see the good you have planned
Eb A --Bb (into first Riff)
you're wearing me thin you smashing young man
Bridge:
I don't recall asking for guidance
I don't recall wanting to
I don't recall bowing before you
?
but I'm so impressed, with the kindness in your attitude
Solo: Use the chorus (listen for the timing)
